Šafová, Julie ; Turek, Pavel (advisor) ; Čeňková, Jana (referee)
Bachelor's thesis Critic or creator? Merging the roles of cultural journalist and audiovisual content creator focuses on the specific aspect in which the sphere of cultural journalism is penetrated by people who are themselves engaged in the process of creating cultural contents. The paper first defines cultural journalism and criticism as general genres with linguistic specifics, then focuses on the concept of criticism as an institution and describes the crisis of the critical genre and its form in the digitalized environment of today. Other chapters deal with the precarization of work, a phenomenon during which permanent jobs are replaced by precarious work dependent on part-time and one-off activities, which is central to the Czech and global cultural journalism and its understanding. The thesis defines how the precarization of work affects the cultural industry and media production. The aim of the thesis is to examine the relationship between the roles of cultural publicist and audiovisual content creator, how this relationship is reflected in the activities of those who occupy both roles, and how these roles complement each other. The practical output of the thesis is a series of eight interviews with male and female respondents who, in addition to audiovisual criticism, are also involved in...

Mašek, Filip ; Malý, Radek (advisor) ; Osvaldová, Barbora (referee)
This thesis deals with one century of Czech critical reflection on Jaroslav Hašek's novel The Good Soldier Švejk, i.e. the period from the publication of the first volume in 1921 to 2021. Using reviews in the press, literary critical polemics, selected literary and scientific studies and relevant articles we follow the transformation of the critical discourse about the mentioned novel. The mutual coherence of the viewed sources is ensured by the emphasis on intratextuality, the overview character of the work is complemented by references to other works. This work then not only collects individual texts in the form of bibliographic records and recapitulations of key theses, but also places them in a cultural, historical or social context using interpretive blocks. Using interpretations, we create a narrative culminating in the conclusion when we report on the evolution of the work's critical reception. After its publication, the book is accepted by a wide readership, but literary criticism ignores it with only few exceptions. The work saw rehabilitation in the second half of the 20s of the 20th century thanks to the critical polemics of the time. Since then, the novel has undergone several revisions - in the 1930s it was interpreted as a proletarian novel, during the Second World War it was banned...
